IMATS/LA 2006

Anyone else going? I can't wait!!! I live in Alaska, so my husband and I are making a little mini-vacay out of it. Can't wait to cruise the beach, too <3

I Am! I go every year. I can't wait either!! It seems like its getting bigger every year.

I am.

This will be my first year... I've wanted to go for the last three but it's never worked out

I'm hoping to buy my tickets in the next two weeks or so! I also want to take a little venture to this beautiful looking place not too far away:

Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | LA Getaway: Arroyo Seco Gabrielino Trail

oh, and more makeup related- I'm thinking about taking the plunge and buying an airbrush setup while i'm there! NOBODY in Alaska does it, and I think it would be amazing to pioneer it up here!

I'm thinking temptu, but I'm looking forward to seeing what all the vendor's have to offer

The Trail Looks Amazing. Every year at the Imats they have super great deals. You save alot. :P

I am! Can't wait to see everything! And spend some serious money!

I have never been but am really looking forward to it this year. Can some of you ladies you have previously attended give me more info. on what the event is like? Do the different companies give samples or discounts? Are the classes worth attending? What is the overall vibe? Sorry for the million questions I am just really excited and nervous about it and would like more info from your perspectives. Thanks!

Super excited this will be my first time going too!!

Some, not all, of the companies give you samples/discounts. The MAC classes, IMO, where not worth it. I feel you can learn more from spectra members FOTD's and tutorials. As with anything, practice, practice, practice. It's always smart to stay on top of what's "new' in the industry and one may find the classes beneficial. It was a lot of fun. Tons and tons of people. I found the vendors to be friendly. Hope to see you there.

The Event is Freaking Awesome I've gone twice already this will be my third time going. There are tons and tons of booths of makeup schools, Different cosmetic lines, Some you know of like Mac, Makeup Forever and others. You do get some discounts depending on the cosmetic line. I know when I went last year to the Makeup forever booth they were having a discount on a huge set of concealers it was like half off. Some of the cosmetic lines if you buy something you get like a free eye shadow or free little something. The makeup competition is pretty cool. They have one each day for the two days of the Event. I think the classes are okay depending on which ones your going to. This Event I think is really good for anyone wanting any kind of information on Makeup schools weather it be for beauty or fantasy also the discounts and meeting up with other artists. Also Mac MUA do a whole body look on two models for the two days. They usually have them out on a little platform in front of the Mac booth around the afternoon like about 12pm. The over all vibe is pretty good, There are alot of people, so exspect that.
